Every time I get the metro it really bugs me that I can only partially understand the automated messages (yeah, sad I know!).

I understand the xiayi zhan... next station bit.

Daole - we've arrived. Then there's something about kaimen... doors opening followed by either zuo or youbian... left or right side.

But can anyone transcribe the typical messages that you hear on the metro so I have a better understanding of what I hear every day?

Cheers.
